This PR closes #414

Adds support for configuring the Kubernetes ServiceAccount used by ValkeyCluster pods through spec.serviceAccountName.

Motivation

ValkeyCluster pods currently use the namespace's default ServiceAccount, and there is no way to configure a different ServiceAccount through the ValkeyCluster CR.

This can be a problem for environments with security policies that prohibit the use of the default ServiceAccount or require workloads to run under a dedicated identity.

Changes

  • Added optional serviceAccountName to ValkeyClusterSpec.
  • Added optional serviceAccountName to ValkeyNodeSpec.
  • Propagated the value from ValkeyCluster to generated ValkeyNode resources.
  • Applied serviceAccountName to the generated StatefulSet pod template.
  • Updated generated CRDs.
  • Added unit tests covering ServiceAccount propagation and StatefulSet rendering.
  • Updated documentation with a usage example.

Existing clusters remain unchanged when serviceAccountName is not specified.

No blocking issues remain.

What we checked:

  • I authored and ran a focused Go test against the production cluster-state scraper using a loopback endpoint that was deliberately closed before scraping. T-Rex
  • The scraper returned no nodes for the unreachable endpoint and reported hasAddress=false, and I removed the temporary test after execution with no production source files modified. T-Rex
  • I authored an executable test rolepoller-unreachable-scrape-01-before_test.go, observed the corresponding after-test output, and verified via the source-integrity log that the temporary test was removed and there were no diffs in internal/controller/rolepoller.go or internal/valkey/clusterstate.go. T-Rex
  • Because GetClusterState adds a node only when getNodeState returns non-nil, a failed real dial yields no matching address, and the alleged clearing/redial loop was not reproduced. T-Rex
Summary

This update adds configurable ServiceAccounts for ValkeyCluster pods, updates the related CRDs and generated pod templates, and revises topology-aware role polling and reconciliation behavior.

Changes

The PR adds optional serviceAccountName fields to ValkeyCluster and ValkeyNode specifications. The controller validates referenced ServiceAccounts, propagates the value to generated pod templates, and updates endpoint announcement, TLS server-name, warning, and StatefulSet handling.

Cluster pod configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Service account API contract
api/v1alpha1/valkeycluster_types.go, api/v1alpha1/valkeynode_types.go, config/crd/bases/valkey.io_valkeyclusters.yaml, config/crd/bases/valkey.io_valkeynodes.yaml, docs/valkeycluster.md
The specifications and CRD schemas define an optional validated serviceAccountName. The documentation describes namespace default behavior and same-namespace ServiceAccount requirements.
Cluster-to-node configuration
internal/controller/valkeycluster_controller.go, config/rbac/role.yaml
Reconciliation checks missing ServiceAccounts and collects configuration warnings. buildClusterValkeyNode propagates endpoint, cluster-domain, service account, and TLS server-name settings to ValkeyNodes.
StatefulSet and pod configuration
internal/controller/valkeynode_resources.go
Node resource generation selects announcement settings, uses cluster headless Services for cluster-owned nodes, preserves templates during migration, and applies server and ServiceAccount configuration.
Configuration behavior tests
internal/controller/utils_test.go, internal/controller/valkeynode_resources_test.go, internal/controller/valkeycluster_controller_test.go
Tests verify service account propagation, pod template values, empty-value behavior, TLS server-name construction, and missing ServiceAccount warnings.

Explanation

The pull request includes changes unrelated to issue #414. The diff adds hostname-based announcement behavior, TLS server-name and cluster-domain handling, a TLS endpoint warning, StatefulSet migration and workload-revision behavior, and related tests. These changes are separate from ServiceAccount selection and propagation.

Resolution

Remove the unrelated TLS, endpoint announcement, StatefulSet migration, and workload-revision changes from this pull request, or move them to separate pull requests. Keep the ServiceAccount API, propagation, pod-template, RBAC, documentation, and related tests.

The shape holds up where it matters. ServiceAccountName goes through buildValkeyNodePodTemplateSpec, which both the StatefulSet and the Deployment builders call, so neither workload type is left out. And the != "" guard does what the issue asked for: I hashed the rendered template on this branch and on main with no serviceAccountName set and got the same value, so nobody rolls on the upgrade that ships this. The assertion message on the empty case says exactly that, which is nice to see written down.

Two things worth changing.

The pattern is stricter than Kubernetes and disagrees with its own length bound. ^[a-z0-9]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?$ is a DNS-1123 label, which forbids dots and caps at 63 anyway, while MaxLength=253 is the subdomain bound. Kubernetes validates ServiceAccount names with NameIsDNSSubdomain, so dots are legal. Both ends check out:

$ kubectl create sa my.sa --dry-run=server
serviceaccount/my.sa

spec.serviceAccountName: Invalid value: "my.sa": should match '^[a-z0-9]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?$'

So a ServiceAccount the cluster will happily create cannot be named here.

A ServiceAccount that does not exist is invisible on the ValkeyCluster. The docs are right that pod creation fails at admission, but it fails quietly from the CR's point of view: no pod is created, the StatefulSet sits at replicas=0, and the only signal is an event on the workload.

Warning  FailedCreate  statefulset/...  pods "..." is forbidden: error looking up
service account default/does-not-exist: serviceaccount "does-not-exist" not found

A typo therefore reads as a cluster that just never progresses. Given ConfigurationWarning already exists for accepted-but-risky input, this looks like it belongs there, and it is the same shape as #403.

Minor: both new tests are named ..._ContainerSecurityContext_Passthrough and ..._ContainerSecurityContext_EmptyIsNoop but test ServiceAccountName.

These findings sit on lines the diff does not cover, so they could not be posted inline. Each one leaves this list once its file changes.

  • P1 Prerelease tags bypass the version gate internal/valkey/version.go:29

    The expression accepts the 9.1.0 prefix of a tag such as valkey/valkey:9.1.0-beta.1 and silently drops the -beta.1 suffix. The resulting stable version satisfies the 9.1.0-rc1 minimum, so tls-auto-reload-interval remains in the generated configuration. A beta or other non-RC prerelease has not been established as supporting this directive, so Valkey may reject the generated configuration while the operator omits the intended unsupported-directive warning. Reject non-RC prerelease tags as indeterminate, or parse and compare the complete semantic version before allowing the directive.
